SharePoint postback problem after file download

For a customer I was creating a project where they needed to click a button and download a file.
This is basic ASP.net stuff, BUT in SharePoint there are some issues with this.

If you use this code, which is the code to push a file towards the client browser for download:

Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.BufferOutput = true;
Response.ContentType = "application/x-download";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=test.xml");
Response.CacheControl = "public";
Response.OutputStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
Response.Flush();

This code will work once,BUT next time you click the button it will not work.
Note: I’m using a byte array to publish, reason is that I created in this case an XML at runtime, this will be handled in an other blog

Solution:

We need to add Javascript to the button !!! Glimlach

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
           public string ScriptRefresh =@"function Refresh()
                                        {
                                           window.setTimeout(
                                               function()
                                               {
                                                  _spFormOnSubmitCalled = false;
                                                }, 10);
                                           } "; //This string represents the javascript fore this issue, it could be any kind of javascript.

this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(),"Refresh",ScriptRefresh, true); //Here we add the Javascript to the page ,ScriptRefresh = javascript, you could type it directly here if you want
btnDownLoadXML.OnClientClick = "Refresh()"; //Here we add the javascript to the button

}

Thats actually all you need to do.
What you are doing behind the scene is tell SharePoint that the page is not submitted yet.

Hope it helps

How to use Live writer for creating Blog’s on SharePoint

When you want to configure your Live Writer to write Blog’s on SharePoint you must not select the option “SharePoint”.

Strange but true Glimlach

you must select ‘Other services’, next you just fill in the url of the site and your credentials and you are ready to go. Glimlach

Extra information on my page

With some customers I have noticed that this is a requirement they often want.

Is is really not complex , nevertheless

These are some option you can place underneath a page:

<div class="edit_createdby">
Created By:
<SharePointWebControls:FieldValue id="CreatedBy" FieldName="Created_x0020_By" runat="server">
</SharePointWebControls:FieldValue>
</div>
<div class="edit_createdon">
Created On:
<SharePointWebControls:FieldValue id="CreatedOn" FieldName="Created" runat="server" />
</div>
<div class="edit_editedby">
Last Edited By:
<SharePointWebControls:FieldValue id="EditedBy" FieldName="Modified_x0020_By" runat="server">
</SharePointWebControls:FieldValue>
</div>
<div class="edit_editedon">
Last Edited On:
<SharePointWebControls:FieldValue id="EditedOn" FieldName="Modified" runat="server" />
</div>

this is what you get underneath your page:

This is the code of the page:

<span class="author"><span class="label">inhoud: </span><a href="mailto:"><SharePointWebControls:FieldValue ID="FieldValue2" FieldName="PublishingContactName" runat="server"></SharePointWebControls:FieldValue></a></span>

<span class="date"><span class="label">laatste wijziging:</span><SharePointWebControls:FieldValue ID="FieldValue1" FieldName="Modified" runat="server"></SharePointWebControls:FieldValue></span>

<div class="edit_editedby">laatst gewijzigd door: <SharePointWebControls:FieldValue id="EditedBy" FieldName="Modified_x0020_By" runat="server"></SharePointWebControls:FieldValue></div>

</div>

Nothing difficult but handy to know

Timer Jobs , example

TimerJobs just are a part of SharePoint they are very powerfull.

This example is a timerjob to send emails.
This timerjob runs in the code with a minute interval, this was just for testing purposes.
What it doe sin production is, checking a SharePoint calendar, if the calendar contains an item, and the date is the same as today, it will sent out the email.
This is an easy way for your customer to control the timerjob.
You can add more advanced stuff to get, according to some metadata from calendar item, an other mail message and so on.

It is deployed with a feature, but the timerjob is created whtin the feature, so we can remove the timerjob again if we disable the feature:

feature.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Feature Id="3ff27f32-95c7-48a4-8145-1e3905471e41"

Title="ZI Intranet NewLetter"

Description="Description for ZI Intranet NewLetter"

Version="12.0.0.0"

Hidden="FALSE"

Scope="Site"

ImageUrl="ventigrate_flower.gif"

DefaultResourceFile="core"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"

ReceiverAssembly="TimerJob.Intranet, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8f16d8af2a207857"

ReceiverClass="TimerJob.Intranet.ZI_Intranet_NewLetter">

</Feature>

Next we have the cs file of the feature, the actual code file.
In this class file I also created onother class which is used by the Timer Job itself.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Text;

using Microsoft.SharePoint;

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities;

using System.Net.Mail;

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing;

using ZorgInspectie.Intranet.UserControls;

using System.Globalization;

using System.Configuration;

namespace TimerJob.Intranet

{

public class ZI_Intranet_NewLetter : SPFeatureReceiver

{

//Varaible declaration

string strTimerTitle = " Intranet News Letter sender";

public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)

{

try

{

removeTimerJob(properties);

// install the job

using (SPSite site = (SPSite)properties.Feature.Parent)

{

ZI_Intranet_NewLetter_TimerJob newsLetterJob = new ZI_Intranet_NewLetter_TimerJob(strTimerTitle, site.WebApplication);

SPMinuteSchedule schedule = new SPMinuteSchedule();

schedule.BeginSecond = 0;

schedule.EndSecond = 10;

schedule.Interval = 1;

newsLetterJob.Schedule = schedule;

newsLetterJob.Update();

}

createLists(properties);

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

Utility.LogError(ex);

}

public override void FeatureDeactivating(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)

{

try

{

removeTimerJob(properties);

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

}

public override void FeatureInstalled(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)

// throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");

}

}

private void removeTimerJob(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)

{

SPSite site = properties.Feature.Parent as SPSite;

foreach (SPJobDefinition job in site.WebApplication.JobDefinitions)

{

if (job.Name == strTimerTitle)

{

job.Delete();

break;

}

This class is in the same cs file as the above.
But it is this class of which an object is created in the feature.

public class ZI_Intranet_NewLetter_TimerJob : SPJobDefinition

{

#region Variables

private string listName = String.Empty;

private string webName = String.Empty;

Events on a list with a feature ???

Must of the time you would asign a SPItemEventReceiver in the XAML file of your feature, but the main problem with that is that you can asign it to a listtemplateID, and not to one specific list.

Which is great if you want al those list to perform this action, you can generat a customlisttemplate and create just on instance of that .... to much overhead ,or you can always do a check to see if that list should perform the action or not and so on.

In this case we asign the SPItemEventReceiver only to 1 specific list which is much easier.

This is de the code for the feature.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Feature Id="37396b05-c17a-4713-b217-a3c7a6904616"

Title="ZI EventHandler e-Flash"

Description="Description for ZI EventHandler e-Flash"

Version="12.0.0.0"

Hidden="FALSE"

Scope="Web"

DefaultResourceFile="core"

ImageUrl="ventigrate_flower.gif"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"

ReceiverAssembly="SharePoint.Intranet, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8f16d8af2a207857"

ReceiverClass="SharePoint.Intranet.ZI_Intranet_EFlash_FeatureReceiver">

</Feature>

the next is the code for the cs file which is called in the feature. This cs file contains two classes.
The class for the feature event, because we want this thing to be installed when our feature is activated, and we want this to disappear when our feature is deactivated:

List selector for webpart

This is an easy way for retrieving a list name , if you needed in a webpart property.

We need to create an extra class;

using System;

Using the SharePoint taxonomy fields

Taxonomy is a new thing in SharePoint 2010, it nice to reuse in your own ussercontrols.
Check out the code !

Add these reference in your ascx file

<%@ Register TagPrefix="Taxonomy" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>

Now you can easly user the Taxonomy picker:

You can now easly play arround with code and the fields acutally.

Here you will find some code I used to add certan Taxonomy groups to the fields:

Add the following reference to your project or class

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy;

Code:

private void findTaxonomieValues()

{

try

{

if (SPContext.Current.Site != null)

{

TaxonomySession taxonomySession = new TaxonomySession(SPContext.Current.Site, false);

TermStore termStore = taxonomySession.TermStores[0];

taxDepartment.SSPList = termStore.Id.ToString();

taxDomein.SSPList = termStore.Id.ToString();

taxTrefwoorden.SSPList = termStore.Id.ToString();

foreach (Group taxGroup in termStore.Groups)

{

if (taxGroup.Name.Equals("Departementen en diensten"))

{

taxDepartment.GroupId = taxGroup.Id;

taxDepartment.TermSetList = taxGroup.TermSets[0].Id.ToString();

}

if (taxGroup.Name.Equals("Kennisdomeinen"))

{

taxDomein.GroupId = taxGroup.Id;

taxDomein.TermSetList = taxGroup.TermSets[0].Id.ToString();

}

if (taxGroup.Name.Equals("Trefwoorden"))

{

taxTrefwoorden.GroupId = taxGroup.Id;

taxTrefwoorden.TermSetList = taxGroup.TermSets[0].Id.ToString();

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

PortalLog.LogString(string.Format("CUSTOM ERROR LOG" + Environment.NewLine + "{0}", ex.Message));

SPUtility.TransferToErrorPage(ex.Message);

}

This is the result actually:
